Just when Pakistanis thought they had a new democracy, ushering in a new civilian government, a new president and the end of eight years of military rule, they are faced with the bleakest moment in the country's history.

By Che Mureed Baloch
It is not a much of surprise when the Pakistan government has present a peaceful solution to Baluch.

Balochistan consumes enemies
Reza Hossein Borr sarawani@aol.com

This seems to be repeated again and again in the history of the region. It is almost a historical pattern. The first evidence that has been documented is those of Sassani kings before Islam. T... details >>
